Physician FAQ

How do I nominate doctors for Super Doctors?

If you are a medical doctor (or an Oral Surgeon in select markets), visit my.superdoctors.com. We've added a new feature to the nomination page: You can now add comments to your nominations. To see a list of locations where nominations are being accepted, click here.

If you are a licensed medical professional, send an email to [email protected] with comments and suggestions on doctors we should consider for inclusion. These "informal nominations" carry no point value in our system, but will ensure that the doctors are placed in our candidate pool for further evaluation.

Can I nominate a doctor from another area?

Our nomination page at my.superdoctors.com is designed to accept only in-area nominations. However, you may comment on and evaluate doctors from other states by clicking the "Comment on/Evaluate Doctors" tab on the dashboard of your my.superdoctors.com home page (you must be registered and logged-in to see this tab). These comments and evaluations will be treated as "informal nominations" which carry no point value in our system, but will ensure that the doctors are placed in our candidate pool for further evaluation.

How can I add/update my photo on my profile page?

It's easy and you can do it yourself online at our companion site, my.superdoctors.com.

If you already have a photo, you can change it any time. If your profile page does not contain your photograph, then you must first upgrade to an Expanded Online Profile at my.superdoctors.com.

Once logged in, use the Profile Manager to add or change your photograph. The pixel size is 128x160 if you want to resize it, if not, the Profile Manager will resize your photograph for you.

How can I correct other information?

Information on your www.superdoctors.com profile can be edited at my.superdoctors.com. Also, if you have not yet upgraded to an Expanded Online Profile, you can upgrade online and watch as your profile changes in real-time as you work in the Profile Manager.

Can a physician selected to the Super Doctors list be called a "Super Doctor"?

Super Doctors is a registered trademark and we take pains to make sure the term is used properly. A physician on our list is not a "Super Doctor." Rather, proper usage would be he or she "has been selected for inclusion on the Super Doctors ® 2010 list." Used properly, the term is not descriptive, comparative or self-aggrandizing (which in some states could raise ethical concerns). It is simply a verifiable fact and, as such, is protected speech.

Super Doctors is published as a special advertising section in various city and regional magazines. The editorial staff of these magazines are not involved in the list selection or creation of those sections.
